Grinnell College Alumni Volunteers – Externships

Externship volunteers host a current Grinnell College student for a job shadow, either virtually or in person. The externship experience allows students to evaluate how their personal values, interests, and expertise may form a future life and career. In return, alumni hosts get to know wonderful Grinnell students and make an impact on their future. Externships take place over spring break each year. If you are interested in serving as a host or have any questions about the program, please contact Jessica Stewart, senior associate director of alumni and donor relations, at stewarje@grinnell.edu
